Karly X. Quinzel

I never intended all of this madness..... ever.

About Me

"A sheer, terrible thought, huge as a cliff towered up before me. Infintely likely to be true. No man will love you, though you gave your life for him, unless you have a pretty face, so (might it not be?) the gods will not love you (however you try to pleasure them, in whatever you suffer) unless you have that beauty of soul. In either race, for the love of men, or the love of a god, the winners and losers are marked out from birth. We bring our ugliness, in both kinds, with us into the world, and with it our destiny. How bitter this was, every ill favored woman will know. We have all had out dream of some other land some other world, some other way of giving the prizes which will bring us in as the conquerers; leave the smooth, rounded limbs, and the little pink and white faces and the hair like burnished gold, far behind; their day ended, and ours to come. But how if its not so at all? How if we were made to be dregs and refuse everywhere? and everyway?"-Orual in Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis
My name, contrary to popular belief, means "strong voiced one". I go for Spiritual Christianity, rather than religious. Religion is to God as math is to art. I despise politics, as the world is on a steady downwards spiral, and its seems pointless to waste energy on something so trivial. I love all manner of art, and yes, that includes music and literature. I have weird ticks, like I can't have one hand moist and the other dry, and I must have a full glass of water at bedtime, even though I never drink all of it. I'm often out of sorts and cynical, but that doesn't mean I don't like you. In fact, it probably means I like you more. I fully intend to be a novelist in the not so distant future. If you find me under the freeway overpass, please give me spare change. I suffer a terrible sense of disconnection to the world around me. I am a spelling freak. I hate improper spelling and grammar. I've started acting on strange impulses, like running away. I love every aspect of the cat.

The Keys to Your Heart


You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart.
In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.
You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.
Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily. What Are The Keys To Your Heart?
